In this book me carry forward the idea established by our predecessors. The idea originated from the fact that the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad passes through Rockwood Borough. The 'name origin- ally nfas given as a nicknafrne to the basketball squad. For this reason it has been adopted as the naine for the annual publication.

OUR CLASS ADVlSORS MR. BERKEB-ILE MR. FORBES Sflllllll ULHSS HlSllllill Success! Four years ago we began to climb the educational ladder to success. At last we have reached the top-ready to take advantage of the golden opportunities awaiting us. As freshmen, we had an enrollment of fifty- two eager students. We elected our class of- ficers and began our career as money-makers -selling Christmas cards, beanies, vanilla, and other items. During our sophomore year, we were hosts to the freshmen at a Hobo Party which was a new type of entertainment, enjoyable to every- one. Our senior project, the new blackout cur- tains, arrived early in the spring, and we felt quite proud as we presented them to the school. The main event of our junior year was the Eleven Jr.-Sr. Prom, which we held in honor of the seniors. Our production of Here Comes Charlie as our class play was incomparable. Little tokens of our educational fulfillments were our class rings, so proudly worn by us as juniors. Selling candy and coke were our money- making schemes in our senior year. We were quite busy publishing our yearbook and making all preparations for graduation, but we took the time and effort to present one last dramati- zation of our talents in the senior class play, The Groom Said No. Our final activities were the senior banquet, Jr.-Sr. Prom, Class Day, and lastly, Baccalaure- ate and Commencement. Now we are anxious to find what the future holds in store for all thirty-six of us.

IIIIISS PHIIPHEIIU Twenty years have passed since the class of '48 thronged through the halls back at R. H. S. Tired from having worked hard, I decided to take a trip, and do some checking on my class- mates. I boarded an Aerocar, an invention of the Atomic Age, and in five minutes landed at the White House in Washington, where I soon gained admittance when the President found out my name. Smiling, he greeted me and I noticed that he was the same Albert IKuschl who always was introducing something novel back in school. He told me he had made some improvements in the White House by removing the balcony Truman had built and installing a swimming pool. We talked for a while and after a dip in the pool, President Kusch called a meeting of his advisors that I might' see his efficient staff. Imagine my amazement when he introduced me to the Secretary of Agriculture, Sheldon Benford, and the Chief of Staff, Glenn Baer. The meeting under way, I met another member of our class, Janice Hostetler, the President's secretary, This was not surprising, however, since Janice was the speed demon of shorthand class 20 years ago. Evidently, she hasn't lost' her touch. After taking leave of the President, I wan- dered down Pennsylvania Avenue where I en- countered an establishment with a large winking eye above it. My attention having been drawn, I entered and soon discovered that I was in an eye clinic run by none other than that famous eye specialist, Dr. Robert Miller. I couldn't help noticing how wide awake Bob looked, as I recalled several times he slep through P. O. D. class. Needing my hair set, I entered a beautiful beauty salon a few doors down the street. I just got seated when a lilting voice interrupted, and to my astonishment, I found myself looking at the proprietor, Kathryn Carpenter. While having my hair dressed, we talked about old times, having quite a laugh about the hair- setting she used to do in school. Next I visited the hospital here in the capitol which, incidentally, is the largest and best in the world. It was here I discovered another member of the class, Dr. Mary Kincaid. After a short chat, she took me on a tour of the hospital. First we entered the operating room where a delicate operation was being performed by a great surgeon. I watched as the do:tor's skitlful hands worked and when it was over, she stepped into the hall, and removed her maskg dark hair fell to her shoulders and there stood Dr. Joyce Miller. After congratulating her on her fine operation, Dr. Kincaid and I continued to the laboratory. I was not surprised to find Dr. Janice Mclntyre in the role of laboratory technician. When she got this job, Janice really applied the chemistry she had learned under the supervision of Mr. Eerkebile. I left the hospital, and walked down the street. Soon a tantalizing odor reached my nostrils and I realized I was hungry. I followed the odor which led me into a huge restaurant. Guess who was the owner? Wayne Heinbaugh -of all people! I inquired who was concocting such a delicious dish, and he promptly ushered me to the kitchen where I was greeted by Faye Sanner. Faye was still as short and slender as ever. After satisfying my hunger, I found my way to the radar gram office to send a wire to my secretary. I almost fainted when Robert Leonberger turned out to be the operator. Bob got my message off to a flying start, his nimble fingers pushing a button with ama :ing accuracy. Wh le I was waiting lor an answer to my rressage, a call came in saying that something was wrong with a radar receiving set and a technician was summoned. I just got a glimpse of George Everhart's red hair, and then he was off on h's assignment. After re:e'ving the answer to my message, I found I needed some legal advize and whom do you th'nk I found to be the most prominent lawyer there? Faye Berkey, who always enjoyed business law class in '48. This seems to be a woman's world! Another classmate, Jeanne Clay, came in as I was leaving. She told me she was having some trouble collecting alimony from her third husband. I extended my sympa- thies and an invitation to join me in doing some shopping. The most exclusive dress shop, Jeanne told Twenty me, was a few blocks down the street, and it was owned by none other than Reda Anderson. Reda called her most popular model to show us the latest fashions. To my utmost' amazement, who should appear but Audrey Meyers, looking as tall and lovely as ever. I lust had to talk to Audrey, since she was one of my dearest friends and soon we were laughing as we usually did back in school, especially in study hall. Having bought several beautiful creations, I inquired who had designed such exquisite gowns. In answer, Phyllis Clevenger stepped through a curtain from the back of the shop to greet me. Soon it was closing time and we all went to dinner. After dinner, we attended a dance recital at the theater. The first number on the program was a ballet, beautifully done by .lean Lamp, still as sweet' and lova-ble as ever. At the end of the number, a loud and furious clapping drew my attention to Marie Lichty, who is now a toy manufacturer. At the intermission, I talked with her and she told me that she was doing very well. She also solved the mystery of another member of the class of '48, when she informed me that Pauline Kreger was her private secretary. ' Later in the evening we were entertained by another graduate of '48, Vera Jean Weimer, now a famous concert pianist. E. J. Romesberg, her publicity manager, was also there, turning the pages of music as she played. Immediately before the program began, I noticed a well- dressed, wealthy-looking man, accompanied by several lovely young ladies, whdm I took to be his daughters, enter the auditorium. As he came closer I was able to discern the familiar features of Fred Nelson. IAnd Fred was going to be a bachelor, tch! tchll The following morning I had a little time to spare before returning home, so I spent it in a day nursery operated by Dorothy Hileman and Dorothy Barclay. These two were insepar- able at school, so I was not surprised to find them still together 20 years lafer. Both were ideally suited for this work and I could easily see the children held a great liking for them. Since it was time to catch my Aerocar, I took leave of my dear classmates and this fair city. Arriving at the airport iust in time fo buy Twenty One IIIIISS PIIIIPHECU a newspaper, I learned that Gerald Nicholson was to be the pilot. Gerald was still the tall, bashful, and handsome fellow. I sat down and the hostess, a small, dark-haired girl, made me comfortable. Wait a minute! That face is familiar. Yes, Grace Crisati. Grace wanted fo be a nurse, but I see she has gone one step further in getting such a glamorous iob as hostes-s. After the Aerocar took off, I opened my newspaper and a big headline on the sports page caught' my attention. This big league baseball star, Robert Engle, had signed a con- tract for 52,000,000 with the Pittsburgh Pirates, now holding first place in the league. Bob, always interested in sports, had really made the top. On we went and as l noticed the beautiful landscape below, I was told that a huge ranch, which I saw nestled in the dark green mountains, belonged fo the Nicklow boys-Everett and Howard. I remember these two as quiet young men, very much interested in agriculture. Still further on I noticed a huge dam being con- structed and this being one of our stops, in- quired more about this proiect. Seeing that a tall, dark, young man was in charge, I went to him to ask several questions. When he turned to face me, I found myself looking at Lex Wiltrout, Chief Engineer. Lex called his assistant, Robert Ringer, to show me around and answer my questions. After thanking them, I hurried back to the airport and began the last lap of my trip. A new passenger had boarded the Aerocar-Mr. Gale Pyle, the famous horticulturist who had succeeded in growing mashed potatoes. We talked and before I knew it, we had reached the outskirts of my home town. Having landed, I took my own Aerocar and went to see Marlys Kimmell, now Mrs. Wilhelm Van Dyke. I stopped at the most beautiful mansion I have ever seen, sur- rounded by tall trees and green lawns. I found her at the edge of the swimming pool watching her twin daughters play. Now that I have located all of the class of '48, I, Shirley Gerber, must get back to my job of owning and editing a newspaper. By SHIRLEY GERBER.

Long remembered will be the chorus' presentation of the operetta Oh Doctor , a two-act comedy, which drew record crowds and brought proceeds enough to purch- ase a new bass horn. Again the chorus took an active part in the baccalaureate service and was well represented at the All-County Festival held at Berlin, Pennsylvania. The band rendered selections during musical interludes at the iunior class, senior class and faculty plays. It played at the commencement exercise, took prizes for its excellent marching, and was represented at the All-County Festival held ot Somerset, Pennsylvania. llltUlll lllllilllll Hllll lllHilllHEllES LEFT TO RIGHT-B.

The Library Club took a stride forward this year when it increased its membership to seven- teen and became one of the most' active or- ganizations in the school. These members met in the library for work four periods a week. With the aid of new materials purchased by las? year's seniors and the guidance of Mrs. Hay, the members practically have renovated the tic- tion books. ln addition, they have begun cata- loging the non-fiction books under the Dewey decimal system. This they hope to complete next year, not to mention the making of a card catalog which they are anticipating for the future. Their daily schedule for each week when different club members reported to the library during the pre-school and lunch hours to check books in and out and shelve them proved very efficient. The club was very conservative, having no social events whatever. Instead, they pooled their dues and purchased beautiful library pins -tokens of their hard work.

The Latin Club, a new and active organization ot seventeen members, met the tirst and third Mondays of each month. During the year the members purchased gold-plated pins engraved with RLC. Their main protect was the presentation of an original and clever assembly program carried out entirely in Latin. Holiday meetings were made social ones, and the year was climaxed with an ice cream party. SPHHISH CLUB SEATED lL. to R.t-R. Leonberger J. Wolters, Pres., A. Berkey, Sec, Treas.g R. Miller, V.

Several of its members attended the Farm Show at Harrisburg where Mary Alice Hayman received 55.00 for having taken flfth place in the state F. H. A. song-writing contest. Of its many social activities, the Winter Serenade Dance held December I9, I947, proved very profitable. The club members have decided to purchase a coffee table, ci bridge lamp, plaques, ornaments, and scarfs for the home economics living-room. E L H. CLUB FIRST ROW IL. to R.l-William J.

Marked by the clicking of the typewriters and the buzz of the Mimeograph machine, the commercial room stands out as one of the most effici- ent departments in the school. Here students are trained to be future stenogs, bookkeepers, and secretaries. Senior commercial students are given actual experience in office practice where they serve as secretaries to the different teachers, who keep them quite busy typing and running oft tests and per- forming other duties charac- teristic of this type of work.

A full time Industrial Arts department was started this year with Mr. Roy R. Sanner as in- structor. This course, according to State requirements, is mandatory for all seventh, eighth and ninth grade boys. After this fulfillment, any lOth, iith, or l2th grade boys may carry Industrial Arts along with their other subjects. The very outset of this year found the ln- dustrial Arts boys with cooperation from the Agriculture Department, going through a com- plete shop improvement program. Walls were cleaned and sprayed with white alabastine, after which the concrete floor was chemically treated and painted. flncidentally, the F. F. A. Club financed this treatment-S35.00l. Forty Nine Tool cabinets were built and finished in dark oak. Accessory cabinets were built to eliminate un- necessary cluttering up of vari-sized nails, nuts, bolts, etc. All in all, the shop's many improve-ments this year can place it on a level with any in the county, and the boys can justly be proud of the iob they've done. After necessary improvements, individual protects were started. This included tie racks, various kinds of wall shelves, hall trees, maga- zine racks, gun racks, wall novelties, benches, end tables, book ends, and door stops. An even more complete program is planned for next year including additional shop im- provements and equipment. HIITIVITIES Plaus Squeaky Rigley .,,.... Plato Blair ..,.,, , Harry Hart ..,,...
